The wedge: Sections C and H, not just L and M

Most compliance-matrix tools shred Sections L (instructions) and M (evaluation factors). The requirements that actually decide whether a proposal is responsive — the SOW deliverables in Section C and the special contract requirements in Section H — get parsed by hand or get missed.

This Skill handles all four sections. Every requirement in the output cites its source section, paragraph, and verbatim text. Anything inferred is tagged [VERIFY] so a human reviewer knows where to double-check before submission.

On a 3-RFP benchmark (services, SaaS, construction), the Skill captures ≥90% of the requirements an APMP-trained proposal manager would hand-build into a matrix. The remaining 10% surface in the [VERIFY] tag column for review, not as silent omissions.

How it works

  1. Drop the RFP

    Paste the solicitation into Claude.ai or Claude Code, or point the Skill at a PDF in your folder. PDF, scanned PDF (OCR fallback), Word, and redlined Word all work.

  2. The Skill extracts and classifies

    Python helper scripts parse the document into requirement candidates. Claude classifies each one by section (L / M / C / H), tags shall / must / will, and pulls the verbatim source text.

  3. Render to three formats

    Output: compliance-matrix.docx (branded Word), compliance-matrix.xlsx (pivotable Excel), compliance-matrix.md (plain Markdown). All three render cleanly with no manual cleanup.

  4. Review the [VERIFY] column

    Inferred requirements (page-allocation suggestions, owner assignments, classification edge cases) are tagged [VERIFY]. Walk down that column with your senior reviewer; everything else is sourced.

  5. Pass to your proposal manager

    Drop the .docx into your APMP-aligned matrix template. The Excel pivots straight into your tracker. The Markdown lives in your repo if you write proposals in version control.

The Skill is a single-seat license. If you run a proposal shop with 3+ reviewers building matrices, the Proposal Stack Bundle is cheaper per seat and includes the Color Team Reviewer Agent — see the cross-sell below.

How we handle your data

Public data only

The Skill processes the RFPs you bring to it — typically public solicitations from SAM.gov. The AUP forbids CUI, SSI, and source-selection-sensitive material.

Runs in your own Claude environment

The Skill executes inside your Claude.ai or Claude Code session. We never see your RFP content. Zero retention via Anthropic's API contract.

Not FedRAMP authorized

This is stated plainly because it matters: Capture.kit is not FedRAMP authorized. For FedRAMP-required workflows, use AWS Bedrock GovCloud with a Claude variant — that's a separate product on the roadmap.

Verify before submit

Every requirement in the output cites its source. Inferred elements are tagged [VERIFY]. Treat the matrix as a draft, not a submitted matrix.

Per-run API cost ≤ $4

Costs land in your own Anthropic account. Prompt caching on the section typology and APMP references keeps a 200-page RFP under $4 at 200K context.

Who buys this

If you bid 5–30 federal RFPs a year, run a proposal shop or sit at a small-to-mid prime, and currently spend 6–16 hours per RFP building the compliance matrix in Excel — this is for you.

If you're a solo BD consultant who pursues 1–2 opportunities a quarter, the SAM.gov Daily Triage Pack at $49 is a better starting point. If you run a proposal department of 5+ reviewers, the Proposal Stack Bundle at $8,500/yr is cheaper per seat.

Who shouldn't buy this

Frequently asked

How is this different from VisibleThread or Procurement Sciences?

Two differences. First, coverage: those tools shred Sections L and M. We cover L, M, C, *and* H — the requirements buried in Section C (SOW) and Section H (special contract requirements) often decide responsiveness, and they're where Procurement Sciences was publicly flagged on r/govcon for missing things. Second, pricing: $499 one-time vs. enterprise-quoted. You buy this on a personal credit card.

What happens if the RFP is amended after I run the Skill?

Re-run the Skill on the amended RFP. The output includes a `diff-vs-prior.md` if you point it at both versions. The matrix's requirement IDs are stable across runs so your owner column carries over.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Yes. The Skill detects scanned PDFs and falls back to OCR pre-processing. TROUBLESHOOTING.md covers the 4 input shapes (clean PDF, scanned PDF, Word, redlined Word) and what to do if the OCR drops a section header.

What's the per-run API cost?

≤ $4 at 200K context with prompt caching, on Claude Sonnet. Opus is optional for the harder edge cases and adds cost. The cost lands in your own Anthropic account, not ours.

Can I share the Skill across my team?

Single-seat license. If you have 3+ reviewers running matrices, the Proposal Stack Bundle ($8,500/yr, 10 seats) is cheaper per seat and includes the Color Team Reviewer Agent.

What's the refund policy?

30-day no-questions refund. If the Skill doesn't cut your matrix time meaningfully on your first real RFP, request a refund. The bar is honest, not exhaustive.

Why public-data-only?

Two reasons. One: scoping. The moment a tool ingests CUI, the buyer pulls it into CMMC scope and the procurement conversation gets long. We avoid that. Two: posture. Most federal RFPs are public on SAM.gov. The Skill processes what's already public; you bring the proposal-side judgment.

How often does this get updated?

12 months of updates included with purchase. Updates ship via Claude's Skills marketplace and our own download page; your license key gives you fresh download tokens whenever a new version drops. After 12 months, renewal is 30% off if you want continued updates.
